How effective are leaky dams at reducing the downstream flood peak?
Two papers published in the Journal of Hydrology explore how to quantify the impacts of natural flood management (NFM), specifically leaky dams in upland catchments, on the downstream flood peak magnitude.
Supporting the next generation of hydrologists
This poster explores the impact of the Studentship Awards which support talented students to undertake a hydrology related masters course.
